Thanks for another interesting and informative video Gareth - As a much older runner , I have taken vitamins for many years - definitely needed in the dark Winter months - I had a TIA ( mini stroke in 1997 ) so also take Statins as a precaution as well - I have had arthritis in my knees and feet now for over a decade so I don't do as much running as I would like to - but walk plenty and do indoor fitness cycling and plenty of leg raises reps on light weights as alternatives to keep things going . I have painful arthritis flares up from time to time so it is hard to even plan things day by day and I do not enter many events now months in advance as I might not even get on the start line . Sleep is a problem as you get older - broken sleep and less hours - not even including the midnight toilet visits !! -Hopefully I will keep on plodding for a few more years yet !!

I was out supporting Tad H runners - spotted you running through Appleton Roebuck (7m) looking strong, great run Naomi!

I live in compression tights😂😂your right best recovery aid imo😊

I had a full blood panel done at the cost of £200+. Came back low iron and ldl borderline. Doc didn’t want to go off test results so did his own. Iron ok (did supplement whilst waiting second test) ldl elevated all other bios good.

Hello thanks again

Congrats on this incredible result!

Congrats on the PB Naomi - great running!

Another great video 👏

You guys should get an Insta360 head cam/s and microphones

Mega congrats on that brilliant PB and big love to the doggies too 🙂

Brilliant Naomi - reight chuffed x

Congratulations on the pb Naomi xx. Loved the footage again.

The last 2 minutes of the video had some extra entertainment I see 😂😂😂

Nobody mention naked Gareth in the mirror! 😂

Superb running today Naomi, well done on the PB 👏 I also ran today and enjoyed the race. You'd already finished as I ran in, but I wanted to say thanks for the shout-out cheer on as I ran past. Also thanks to Gareth who actually gave me kudos on Strava 🫣😅 Good work to both of you 🙌

Brilliant, well done Naomi!

Congratulations on the new PB Naomi! 🎉

Gotta say I loved this, excellent supporting!

is it slippery on snow or rain ?

I think this raffle is to trickle it out and introduce it to the public, and due to the manufacturing limitation, and lack of units for global consumption.

Really enjoying my Evo SL….. using mainly as a daily atm, need to get some pace in them. Didn’t win a raffle, Start fitness had them for sale just before Xmas.

Looks like a decent shoe. Not too sure about the raffle nonsense though, like you said it just seems like a marketing gimmick. I had 4 pairs of the Boston 9 so if it's anything like those it might be worth checking out. If you can find the Puma Deviate Nitro 2 on a good discount I'd recommend them. Used mine for a fast 5k up to 20 mile long run and Puma Grip has even been good on the ice this week 🧊 200 miles in and not a lot of wear.

Compared to the Pro 3, would you say it's a lot softer? (and how about vs. Prime X OG if you tried it, which I found soft whereas the Prime X2 was much firmer)

I'm 46% L and 54% right, and am getting hip problems on my right side when running hard. Does that mean I am weak on my left side and am over-compensating on my right, so I should strengthen my left side? Or does it mean my right side is weaker because if I am spending less time on my left, isn't my ankle/leg stiffer and stronger on my left side as proved by less ground contact time on the left? Can't quite get my head around it.

id be pretty certain people open strava account without ever intending to use for fitness.... / and or they are hacked

could store all on garmin connect , but trainer app wont upload to Garmin so ..

Quality vid as always. I have a similar video coming soon as part of my back to basics series. Who’s been saying they are coming off social media?

I personally love it but all points very valid. I started running back in 2013 and used an old app Endomondo and over the years using various brands of devices, Strava has been a great platform to merge all this into 1. I get inspired mostly, but also appreciate it is social media (of which I aren't a fan) and can spot fakery at 10 paces lol Anyways, great topic, cheers :-)

Ha ha first to like and comment.

I've got a love-hate relationship with strava tbf. It's probably because I see it as another form of fb. So I don't upload for ages. Then I do it in one go. Plus, bouts of depression stop me from thinking about uploading. Hmm 😒 🤔 😒 good to listen to varying ideas and thoughts. Yeah naomi you hit nail on head there's loads of what seems positive stuff on there and not both where there's struggles too. It's probably another reason I don't upload frequently. I'll be at wombwell 5 and i still need a place for dewsbury 10k. So looking for one soon.

I am at brass monkey so will see you there

Another interesting vid - I still write my mileage down in a diary - got a box full of them up in the loft since 1979 !! -- but if I do over distance in a race or run - say 10kms for an example I book 6 miles so I probably done myself out of hundred of miles over the years - very rarely count warm ups or cool downs as well !! I have a garmin watch which I got as a retirement present from Tesco a few years ago and it does the job good enough for me -Garnin just didn't work for me - but each to their own I suppose

I have a love/hate relationship with STRAVA. I keep it private and only add or accept people I speak to. I hide the time and my start & finish.

Those pesky GPS PB's. It's even worse when you hit a PB and the distance comes up short. Although I agree Power of 10 is king.

If it wasn’t for Strava I wouldn’t have known about your running club I just joined. Every other kind of social media I’d ban. I call them phone zombies when I’m out running and their walking and scrolling in middle of pavement in way.

Good video, I personally just came off to hide my location and just get along with training while I'm away. its still on there just private.

People drive to strava bash😂😂😂even i dont do that😂😂😂

I got rid of Strava over a year ago - mind you I didn't have it that long anyway !!

Thanks for sharing your S&C stuff in the gym. More videos like these please. Btw you’re doing yourself a favour by taking your time to recover fully and not racing. Also isn’t 80 miles a week a bit too much for your achilles injury?

Hi not sure if you did a video for Rother Valley which you did on 28th December but I was there and just wanted to say both you and Naomi ran really well, Unsurpisngly. I saw you both in the cafe afterwards and Naomi waved at my little girl, which she then mentioned on the way back to the car in the form of “person, waved at Mimi (her nickname for herself 😂) so thank you to Naomi for that, she clearly appreciated the little wave!

Great video, thanks!!

Shockwave ultrasound works on my Achilles better than anything else

Gareth ive taken s n Cs and gym so much more seriously now. Thank you for the tips. Ive been unwell of late in the form of exhaustion and chronic fatigue syndrome after long covid. This in tern causes stress and further exhaustion. Rest, nutrition, sleep has been my learning curve. Lost another car lol so that caused more stress. I completely agree with you with regards other facets of being a runner. I'm hopefully turning a corner now. Thank you and naom for excellent advice and showing your path in runnung.

A very good insight into S&C, thanks for sharing and will add some into my programme. Wishing every success in the New Year to both you and Naomi and hope you regain the excellent fitness you achieved in 2024.

Many happy memories of East Park as a kid. 🎉😊

Have a great Xmas to you both and wishing that the channel goes from strength to strength in the New Year 👍

Well done Gareth Naomi Merry Christmas 🎄 from Thailand

Merry Christmas to you both!

Merry Christmas Gareth and Naomi - Our Santa parkrun was at Concord yesterday

I did this but was one of the slower runners 😂 I’m so amazed at how you can keep that kind of pace going in the conditions we had on Sunday! Amazing! I only started running a early this year and my hope is next year I can do it under an hour. Well done and will be subscribing!
